Dr. Shannon O'Grady - The Chemistry of Nutrition

There is a famous saying that abs are made in the kitchen; what it means is that no matter how hard you exercise, if you are not following a proper nutrition protocol, you may not get the results that you want. The purpose of the food we eat is to provide specific nutrients that we need for optimal health and performance. The nutrients themselves cause a number of chemical reactions in the body that could either increase lean muscle mass or torch unwanted fat. Dr. Shannon O'Grady, the Chief Product Officer for Gnarly Nutrition, describes the benefits of supplements and how they support your exercise efforts. Dr. O'Grady explains the chemistry behind nutrition and which supplements could help achieve certain results. It's all about the science of supplements on this episode of All About Fitness.
